Almost two years ago, the NYC street art community suffered a major loss: The legendary graffiti Mecca known as 5 Pointz was unexpectedly whitewashed (and later demolished), causing outrage among those who contributed to it for the last 20 years.
In remembrance of the iconic location, director Kevin Wood has released the last known video footage of 5 Pointz and has condensed it into a five-minute documentary aptly titled 5 Pointz in 5 Minutes.
According to a description on Footprint.tv, Wood was hired to film the interior and exterior of the space for “unknown reasons.” About 48 hours after he completed filming, 5 Pointz was no more.
You can check out a trailer for the video above. The full documentary, which was shown at the Long Beach International “Shorts on the Beach” event last month, can be viewed in its entirety here.
